So we had booked in weeks ago to have a photo shoot on the beach, I was hoping my tummy would be of good size but didnt want to leave it much longer as I could become bed ridden or hospitalised. I was a little nervous about the photo shoot as my skin is still terrible and Kane often jokes to me "When do you get that glow?" his sense of humour can make me laugh as I know he is kidding but other times I snap back saying "You try carry three babies and see what you look like!!" He now tells me I use that line to much of saying to him in different ways that I am carrying three babies for him (but I am going to contiune to use it as long as I am carrying the three babies as it is not all beautiful and natural like they advertise).
Getting ready for the photo shoot was interesting, since being pregnant I have kind of left the makeup in the draw and not worried about what I look like, today applying makeup I had almost forgot what it was like.. Once my makeup was done I felt great, wow this foundation has great coverage I thought to myself. Kane had made it quite clear he didnt want to many corney photos like kissing the belly etc and I assurred him that we didnt have to do it. Once the photo shoot began we were both so excited a little bit of rain and wind but otherwise was good, a few poses in and the photographer asks Kane to kneel in and kiss the belly I almost wet myself! Kane looking at my belly trying to be serious and I can see his facials made me crack up, some how I doubt that, that photo will make the cut. Was a great afternoon and some great laughs... I can't wait to see all of the photos!! We were lucky enough to get a sneak peak of the shoot and I will include a couple of the pics that we love :)
It was a long weekend and apart from the photo shoot we really stayed at home and relaxed getting ready for another week of work. I kept telling myself only 3 weeks left till I go on maternity leave and can start resting lots more. However this was about to change after my biggest fear came true.
Tuesday morning started off not to well with having a massive power chuck after breakie, always leaves my back a little tender and me feeling a little more tired than usual. But off to work to what was meant to be a good day the start of a short week. All was well until lunch and I had to pop over the road to get some food for lunch. Acacia (work mate) came along with me and about half way there I went to cross the road as I stepped out onto the curb of the road my foot rolled on the gutter and before I knew it I was smack down on the concrete! I must of yelled or made some noise Acacia was right beside me asking me if I was ok and if I got my belly. Also a bus driver came out to check how I was and if he needed to call for an ambulance. I insisted I was ok and they both helped me over to the bus stand where I could sit. I was instantly in shock and the worry was surrounding me if I had hurt my babies!! It was horrible I was so upset and my body felt numb.. Acacia rang my boss and within a minute came and picked me up and took me back to work. I rang Kane and I was worried to tell him, once I explained to him what had happen he too was worried and thought I better get a check out. I knew the angle I fell on that my knees and one of my arms took the fall but I also knew by belly did get some of the impact. After calling the doc they told me to call the hosptial straight away and see what they suggest. I did this and they asked me to come in asap to get a check and to scan the babies to make sure they are a ok. I had felt slight movments on one side of my belly but with three babies it is always hard to tell who is moving. The hosptial was great once again, they got me and tried to get heart beats through the hand held doppler but were unable to know if it was 3 seperate babies heartbeats so I got moved to a new area so that the senior doc could do an ultrasound to find three heart beats. I was very lucky to have my assistant with me Tamika, she drove me in and stayed with my in the hospital. Once they confirmed for me that there are still 3 strong heart beats and did the checks for me said I was able to leave. Before I left they had a discussion about me working, I was to be on strict bed rest for the rest of the week to ensure that I dont go into pre-term labour and that they suggested I also finish work now so that I dont endanger the babies anymore. I felt a little annoyed at myself for tripping, as I was coping ok. They said to take it as wake up call and that I really need to start resting and fattening the 3 up for when they arrive. So I took their opinion on board and explained to my boss what they had said and heading to the doctor tomorrow to get their opinion on if it is time for me to finish up work ... Eeeeek!! I know the doctors are there to look after us so I had always said I'll go with what the docs say. It may look like we might be down to one wage earlier than expected :(
Luckily we have been so organised with our supplies and almost have everything organised for the when the trio arrives. Our nappy stack is almost touching the roof (ill include a photo) but other than that only need to get a few more bits and pieces :)
Photos included this week: bump progress photo, some professional photos, nappy stack
